Ulster county office building parking lot solution

Ulster County is seeking proposals for a comprehensive parking lot management solution for the County Office Building located at 244 Fair Street in Kingston, NY. The Request for Proposals (RFP-UC25-070) solicits a fully automated parking system for both public and employee lots, requiring mobile application technology, pay-by-phone capabilities, pay station kiosks, and credit card processing. The solution must include software management, an in-house server, remote-controlled gates, and fob access systems. Proposals will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system, with points allocated across overall plan (35 points), fee/pricing (30 points), qualifications and experience (20 points), understanding of county goals (10 points), and local economic development (5 points). A mandatory site visit is scheduled for October 17, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with final proposals due on October 31, 2025, at 4:00 PM. The contract period will run from the award date to satisfactory completion or December 31, 2026, whichever occurs first.

The RFP includes specific provisions that favor local economic development, with vendors receiving additional points based on geographic location: five points for Ulster County vendors, three points for vendors in contiguous counties, and one point for New York State vendors. The county has incorporated sustainability requirements through GreenNY standards and mandates living wage compliance for contracts exceeding $50,000 in a fiscal year. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the parking lot solution suggests a significant investment in technology and infrastructure. No incumbent vendor is mentioned, and the RFP does not specify strict set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors will be expected to provide a holistic parking management solution that integrates modern technology with efficient, user-friendly access control and payment systems for both public visitors and county employees.
